Hello David and All,

From Jay Blanchard, who lives in the Phoenix area and has visited Jay with some regularity].

Jay Samuels passed this AM of COVID.
I am saddened by this development, especially with COVID as the proximal cause. As many of you know, Jay, along with RHF members Bob Dykstra and John Manning, was an influential mentor for me when I was at Minnesota as a grad student and a new professor.  I have such vivid memories of so many things Jay did and said.

Haunting (in both an eerie and a very sweet sense) that Jay died on the very day when many are memorializing the contributions of Ken Goodman.  Although Jay and Ken help what many of us thought were diametrically opposing views of early reading development and pedagogy, the two shared an alma mater (both got their doctorates at UCLA) and an abiding respect for the contributions of the other to the study of reading processes and pedagogies.
